Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

I was saying that Chris thinks that, if you're not black, you're white. So he would be associating all groups that aren't black with white.

Oh, I know get what you're saying, its just that I was just pointing out that American society has tended to do the exact opposite. People who aren't considered "white" tend to get lumped together with "blacks," or overshadowed by the black population when discussing race in this country. I've seen Americans call everyone from Sitting Bull to Muhammad to Gandhi "black," the latter of which is especially funny considering that Gandhi wrote some rather unflattering things about South African blacks...

Anyway, Chris seems to do the opposite, probably as you said because he can't really differentiate people. I do think that his lack of real world experience probably plays a part too though. Again, he thinks he's Cherokee, so for him all Cherokee (maybe all Indians) are expected to look like him. He may or may not have any Cherokee ancestry, but if he does odds are he's below the blood quantum necessary to enroll (I believe it's only 1/16th for the Eastern Band of Cherokee) or he doesn't have an ancestor on any of the rolls. Also, if he is Cherokee, he wouldn't have a Clan either, since that's inherited from your mother's side.

Either way, he can't fathom the fact that he might not be a "special snowflake," and that even if he is part Indian, he's obviously mostly white. I think he'd be surprised to meet a full blood Indian, as he wouldn't expect them to have dark skin. Ditto for Asian people and Latinos (many of whom do have American Indian blood, but also sometimes African heritage as well; just look at parts of Cuba, Peru, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, etc). That's why I'm actually very curious to see Chris' opinions of South Asians too.

Chris can't notice anything subtle, like facial characteristics. It's like how he also doesn't notice subtle differences between the sexes.

Didn't he mention needing to study his own face in the mirror to know what he looked like? Obviously that comes from his atismu, but still interesting.

He doesn't notice that women's bodies have wider hips than men, or things like that. The best he can do is: boobs? check. no dick? check. it's a woman. (heh, and if you have boobs, but still have a dick, you're a woman-in-training, like Bailey Jay from the mailbag emails)

His own artwork would seem to bear that out. Notice how Lovely Weather, Chris' ideal woman, looks for all the world like a tranny.

I think that the best Chris can do is skin tone, and when you get dark enough, you set off Chris black person alarm.

Best summary ever.

The Brookings Report, a document commissioned by NASA regarding the implications of discovering extraterrestrial life has some points that correlate well with CWCville and even more significantly, Chris himself.

"Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they have had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas and different life ways; others that survived such an experience usually did so by paying the price of changes in values and attitudes and behavior." pg. 183

I feel this really sums up how Chris' life has changed in the wake of his discovery by others online and the effects of their actions and Chris' own, and the possible directions his life could take from here on out.
 
I'm puzzled by the monologue at the epilogue of Sonichu #0, after the battle with the ill-proportioned Zapdos, as Sonichu watches Christian drive off on his Love Quest. Sonichu muses that "in the end, he'll say "one girlfriend please". Because he'll probably fail again...I'm proud to have a brave father."

Is this a glimmer of self-awareness? Is Sonichu - and, by extension, Chris as the author - acknowledging how clumsy Chris is in approaching women?
No. You see, to Chris, any time he fails in his love quest it's always somebody else's fault. Either the Jerkops keeping him from loitering around the mall, Mary Lee Walshing witch-bitches tearing up his attraction sign, no boyfriend-free girls around him or if there is a boyfriend-free girl she might be too scared/inexperienced about relationships to approach him. To Kaka, if these things weren't blocking his love quest, getting a girl would be as easy as ordering a side of fries at McDonalds.

It's more reflective of Chris's half-assed philosophy that trying and failing at something should be rewarded as equally as succeeding, if not moreso. Also, his crippling dependence on using pity to fuel every stage of the relationship, from the first meeting to the grave.

Well, I suppose we all frame the world in terms of what we know. Of course, for most of us, our understanding of things goes well beyond fast food, electric hedgehog Pokemon and 80s cartoons nobody else watched...

Funny, that's the exact same thing I was thinking. For Chris, that throw away comment is supposed to make his character (or himself; really, its a Mary Sue so they're one and the same anyway) more sympathetic, even endearing, to us readers. He tries hard for his China, and deserves to be rewarded eventually with a happy life. In reality, its kind of sad. I'm sure at that point he thought he'd find his boyfriend-free girl from the ground up, and she'd sweep our shy little protagonist off his feet and take him away from Borb's hoarder house, and they'd all live happily ever after. Instead... he winds up being a creepy tranny in a codependent relationship with mommy dearest and living in a rental house.

Also, his crippling dependence on using pity to fuel every stage of the relationship, from the first meeting to the grave.

Also this. Chris has relied on pity to get things in the past, and more often than not it has. Hence his current belief that random strangers will buy him Legos. In fact, I'm sure some of the white knights will do just that. Oh well, if they want to throw their money away on a greasy, ungrateful manchild, they're more than welcome to. I'd rather put it towards a real charity, but that's just me.

^THIS. Pity has gotten Chris a lot in the past, just not china. I just can't believe how ballsy he's getting now though. There's one lego set that he's wanting that's over $200 worth of legos. And he'd like duplicates of some that are $50+ . Seriously? I don't even expect my combined birthday or xmas gifts to equal $50+, but Chris wants it in one go. Though maybe that's his whole 'I don't know the value of a dollar' mentality. Remember, he thought thinks a fancy dinner is taking a girl to Applebees or McDonalds, and he thinks that paying $100 for a hooker is way too much money. But then spending over $5k on electronically owned games via PSN isn't all that much considering he's been 'collecting' for a few years.

Dosn't suprise me at all. The question is, who will he blame when he dosn't get them? God? Da trolls? Mimms?

When Chris says this... who exactly is he asking? God? The universe itself?

I may be misremembering, but I seem to recall reading that he would make paper coupons, with something like "redeemable for one girlfriend" on them, and hand them to women. An early version of the paper heart on a red string scheme.

It's the "in the end"part that caught my attention - maybe even Chris understood that this is a desperate act and other, marginally more plausible approaches should be exhausted first...

Barb is fat and I haven't seen the dogs in ages does this mean she ate them?

I am big concern.
The dogs realized they have no need of legs, since Chris is too lazy to take them for walks, so they ate their own legs and became dog-shaped worm-like creatures.

But who is the authority that makes these coupons redeemable? To whom does Chris think all these women are beholden?

I wonder whether a lifetime of video games and a lack of reasoning ability mean that Chris views the real world as some kind of enormous MMORPG.

Attracting a boyfriend-free girl would be like catching a pokemon - keep throwing those balls, and eventually one of his targets will yield, because that's just how the game works...

He made the girlfriend coupon, but I don't know if he's tried it. He put it on his website, to emphasize how much lonely autistic fatasses deserve girlfriends. But I would love to hear that he actually tried that.

Related by a very loose tangent, does anyone know if Charb clip coupons?
